October 25
Another very busy day today. We're off to the hospital today for labs, and then, getting Jax to the airport for some much needed R & R. A week in Vermont with family and friends should be just the ticket.

Time to put my Mr. Mom hat on and get busy! Word of the Day is "DELIVER". ♥

Well, so far, so GOOD! Jax got off last night NO PROBLEMS!

Lance and I are already missing her. ♥

Labs came back GREAT, all my numbers and kidney function came back beautifully. My doctors are very happy. They ordered my CT Scan and a PET Scan. What that means is very possibly a clean bill of health. Man, I cry just thinking about that.

Word of the Day is "CLEAN". ♥

October 27
Hey ya'll... no explosions, fires or locked doors! Lance and I are missin Momma, but no mishaps so far!

Lance booked another Walmart commercial!

Off to the valley this morning. then on to the hospital to make my CT and PET scan appointments. Busy busy busy. Stayin focused! Word of the Day is "MEMORIES". ♥

Here are some great shots of me and my popz:

The appointments have been made! PET for Novenber 12 and CT on November 29. Worth the wait!!!!! Closing another week to the books.

Lance has been in with me every night, since Mom has been in Vermont. How can I say no to that! ♥
Looks like another clear and sunny fall day here in the AV! Lovin' it! Word of the Day is "RADAR". ♥

October 7 (from Doug VanQuekelberg of Tonebender Custom Guitars and Basses)

One of two Recording King 000 style solid spruce top acoustic guitars singed by The Gin Blossoms.

This is as good a place as any to get this thing rolling. There are TWO of these guitars to be raffled off - this is the first one for all the inter-web, out-of-town friends and family of our bud Michael Kreple. Hopefully my site will work for you. If not read the "direct thru Paypal" option. This is going to be fun and very cool. The second one will be more "local", and is being done in conjucnction with the folks at TapOut here in the Antelope Valley where Michael gets beat-up on a regular basis. Email tonebenderproducts@gmail.com with any questions. ~ Doug at Tonebender

(from Michael)
In my deepest state of gratitude, I still have a burning desire to let you ALL know how much it means to me, and my family, that you are all doing so much to help the Kreples. It humbles my heart completely. You are all special people!

This weekend is going to be fun. Car racing in Lancaster, live bands and good food, well, good SALADS for me anyway. Keep bangin those drums!

Word of the Day is "ROUGHAGE". ♥

October 8

Gave myself my first shot last night, wasn't too bad at all. Kinda weird watching the needle disappear at my own hand. The TV show is definitely happening. Next week Wednesday and Thursday I'll have a camera crew following me around. Catching "the life of a cage-fighter." As of now, my next fight will be New Years Eve in Las Vegas.
